阅读理解

    At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, US, there is a little red barn (畜舍). The farm is mostly empty now. Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations (世代),have moved to a different place in northern Fayette County.

    But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm.

    They're members of the Fayette County Livestock Club. In this club, children learn many skills, such as cutting wool and taking care of animals.

    "A lot of Lexington kids don't know anything about farm life," said Adria Meier,17, who has looked after goats (山羊) and sheep for three years. "There is so much to learn."

    Children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must take a six-hour class before they get an animal of their own. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs for free, such as one that provides animal care.

    Mahan lets the group use the barn for free. The kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.

    There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don't cut the wool off your goats and sheep when there is wind. Sheep are social animals and they will cry loudly when they are separated.

    "Looking after animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to swim or play soccer, caring for an animal isn't something you can simply abandon (遗弃),"said Carly Playforth.

Dear Agony Aunt,

I'm a Grade 8 student. I find no matter how hard I study, I always get low marks in math. I have lots of 1 and can't sleep well. What's worse, my elder brother thinks I have a lower IQ(智商) than my classmates. So I always2 him.

Sad Betty

Dear Sad Betty,

Thank you for your letter. I hope my3 can be of some help to you! I know you are in a bad situation, but never doubt(怀疑) 4 ! Please believe you have a 5 IQ like other common students. Since I worked as Agony Aunt ten years ago, I have 6 many students like you. They seem not to make any progress(进步) in 7 although they are very hard-working. So I understand how you are feeling.

Everyone is 8 others and everyone is good at different things. So you shouldn't 9 yourself with others, although I know it will be not easy.

I know you must be very hard-working, but 10 your learning methods (方法)aren't suitable (适合的) for you. If you aren't sure about it, why not 11 your math teacher for help? It's a better way to tell your math teacher about your 12 and your learning methods. I believe he or she would like to help you and 13 you some learning methods that suit you better. You can also study together with your classmates who are good at math. Team study is 14 helpful.

As for your elder brother, you can talk with him in a friendly way. 15 it doesn't work, ask your parents for help.

In a word, the most important thing is not to doubt yourself. I believe you can make it!

Agony Aunt

Tom Avery is one of the only 41 people ever to have reached both the South and North Poles. He was born in December 1975 and brought up in England, Brazil and France. His passion(强烈爱好) for adventure began when he was just seven years old and first read about the expeditions(探险) of famous explorers.Perhaps this was the start of his plan to put together the ultimate(终极的) joumey —— to the very top of the world, the North Pole, following the route taken by Robert Peary in his 1909 adventure.

Both Peary and Avery set off from Cape Columbia in Canada. Peary had a larger team and in fact had four support groups. Every 160 kilometers, a group would leave plenty of food and then turn back. The team therefore got smaller the further north they travelled. While Avery didn't have as many on his team, they did have food dropped by plane for them at four locations.

Avery's team also had the obvious benefit of modern technology, but Avery doesn't believe this made a big difference. He credits (把……归功于) his team's success to the 16 Inuit dogs that pull the sledges(雪橇)."It wouldn't have been possible without them,"he said."Your speed depends on the dogs and how quickly you can get a sledge through the ice."His team were travelling at the end of winter and this meant that the ice was thinner and could easily break under a person's weight. This was an added danger.

Another difference between both men's journeys was that Peary was far more experienced than Avery and had already been on several trips to the Arctic.

Peary claimed(声称) to have reached the North Pole in 39 days, but some historians argue that this was not possible. Avery's team actually beat this time and became the fastest to get there on foot. Avery says,"We told everyone we could do it and that we wouldn't fail. But it certainly wasn't easy."
